MARGARET Handmade Turn-Up Beanie Alpaca Mohair and Silk 9033/53 Lody Truskawkowe

The handmade MARGARET turn-up beanie is a thin, lightweight alpaca beanie with an added mohair-silk yarn, designed for the in-between seasons – autumn and spring, when you want warmth without overheating. Some pieces are available ready to ship, while others are made to order, so before buying, please check the lead time after clicking your chosen size.

A thin, lightweight alpaca beanie for the in-between seasons

MARGARET is a close-fitting turn-up beanie, hand-knitted from two yarns: a main yarn of 100% alpaca and an additional yarn made from 75% mohair and 25% silk. This composition gives it a softly fluffy texture with a visible, soft halo and a refined finish – a good option if you are looking for a lightweight but still warm handmade beanie for everyday wear.

The double-layer ribbed turn-up helps the beanie stay in place well and cover the ears nicely, while still feeling more breathable than very thick winter hats. In practice, it works well for the city, walks, and everyday movement between the office, shops and public transport, when temperature changes throughout the day can be noticeable.

• Double ribbed brim and turn-up – a stable fit on the head, with the ears covered without a tight, pressing feel.
• Thin, lightweight knit – comfortable in transitional temperatures; warm, but without the typical overheating indoors that can happen with very thick hats.
• Alpaca combined with a mohair-silk yarn – softness and light fluffiness, visually closer to an elegant women's winter hat than a typically sporty style.
• Hand-knitted – each beanie is knitted individually, which helps the knit sit well on the head.
• Knit with good resistance to pilling – the beanie stands up better to frequent wear and contact with a collar or scarf.
• Yarn certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 – confirming that the fibre has been tested for the presence of harmful substances.
• “Strawberry Ice Cream” tone – a light pink shade that brings softness to an outfit and pairs well with neutral coats and jackets.
• In contact with the skin – the fluffy alpaca and mohair fibres may feel slightly itchy for people with very sensitive skin; in that case, it may be better to consider smooth beanies made from a different yarn.

How to wear and care for the MARGARET beanie

This warm women's beanie works well as an everyday hat with a coat or jacket in early spring and autumn. Thanks to the turn-up, you can gently adjust how low it sits on the forehead. The light pink shade looks good on its own, but it is also easy to build a set – on the website you will find handmade scarves, snoods and shawls (including alpaca scarves) in the wool accessories section: matching handmade accessories.

The beanie has a clip-on eco-leather label, which you can remove before washing. Because of the fibre composition, it needs gentle care – hand washing in lukewarm water and drying flat are recommended. You can find detailed guidance on how to care for wool accessories.
